An amazing streaming device, a must have

-I use this to stream Movies and TV shows that are on my home server using the Plex server app and the Roku Plex app. -The interface is super simple without taking away anything from customization for power users. The quality and speed of the Roku in general is amazing. -This is a must have device for any TV in your home and I have been more than pleased with the Roku 3, I have a Roku 2 XS but the speed of the 3 as well as the headphone jack make it worth the purchase.
Pros: Simple Controls, Fast Setup, Attractive Design, Improved Audio/Video

Magic Box missing one key feature

Roku is awesome for so many reasons. My wife and I recently decided to "cut the cord" with cable/satellite. The bill was upwards of $70 - $100, which seemed excessive. Upon observing our viewing habits, we were spending most of our time watching Netflix. On top of all that, the few channels we watched were "bundled" with about 800 channels we did not watch. In short, we were spending a ton of money on something we seldom used. Having heard about Roku, we decided to give it a try. We have found Roku offers a great experience, especially for those who do not subscribe to cable/satellite. Roku, unlike cable/satellite, allows users freedom of choice without forced bundling. We especially love the PBS and Smithsonian channel's documentaries and history series. History Channel decided to follow Larry the Cable Guy, Swamp People and other stupid nonsense. The former, ACTUAL history-related shows we loved were nowhere to be found. However, it appears we were just looking in the wrong place. These types of shows are alive and well on Roku. Bravo sirs/maams! Also, Roku appears to have product developers who actually listen to their customers and research what the market demands. Keep up the great work!
Pros: Headphones Feature, Always on, Fast Setup, Simple Controls, Always On No Wait Time, Great Free Content, Awesome Android App
Cons: No Built In Suggestions, No Auto Play Feature
